How to Clean the Teeth.

From the Boston Saturday Review.l
 Nothing but water. There are more good teeth ruined by so-called dentifrices than by all other causes in the world put together. The object of the makers of these dentifrices is, of course, to produce a preparation that will, with very little rubbing with the brush, make the teeth look perfectly clean and white. To ac- complish this they put pumise stone, and sometimes strong alkalis, in their prepa- ration. Pumice stone will unquestionabiy take all the enamel with it. An alkali will make a yellow tooth look white in a few seconds, but before week has passed it will have eaten away nearly all the enamel and utterly destroyed the tooth. In walking along the street you often see a "fakir," by way of advertising his patent dentifrice, call 8 small boy from the crowd near by, and, opening thr boy's mouth, in minute almost take off all the tartar and make the teeth look perfectly pure and white. Now, 8 man like that fakir ought to be arrested, for he has forever destroyed that boys teeth. His prepara tion, composed of a powerful alkali, is eating away the enamel of the boys teeth, and in a few months the poor youngster will not have a sound tooth in his head The dentifrices composed chiefly of pum- ice stone are not as bad as those contain ing an alkali. because they will not de- strey the teeth so quickly; but if used habi- tually they will as certainly destroy them in the end.
 'sI should advise 8 man by all means to use no dentrifce of any description, unless it be prepared chalk. If this is used not oftener than once week, it will not injure the teeth and may help to cleanse them, but it should on no ac- count be used every day. Orris root does the teeth no harm, and gives 8 pleasant odor to hesbreath; and if all our dentifrices were composed simply of orris root and prepared chalk, they would be harmless enough, if not beneficial. My own plan is to use a moderately hard brush and plenty of cold water. and nothing else, and my teeth are in excellent con dition. If people would only pick their teeth carefully after each meal, making sure that not.the slightest particle of food remained near the gums or between the teeth, and would also, before retiring at night, run piece of soft thread through their teeth, they would not have any necessity for den- tifrice. Of course, sweets and candies are bad for the teeth; so is smoking, or taking either very cold or hot drinks; but bad as these un- doubtedly are, really think that the worst enemy the tooth has is the so called dentifrice. Take the advice of dentist, and never use any thing for your teeth but brush and good cold water"

MUST SANTA CLAUS COZ

The pleasant illusions of childhood are, it | would seem, dispelled quickly enough in the
 natural course of things, but there are those who do not intend to let children have any l illusions, believing that truth and "facts" l are better for them than any illusion, how ever pleasant and harmless. Thus we find l in Babyhood an attack made on that fine old fellow Santa Claus, who for long has made I myriads of children very happy in the latter part of this month One of the correspon- dents who figure in the symposium" decid- ed long before her first baby was old enough
 to be told anything about Santa Claus to tell
 her the truth Her two little ones, nearly two and four years old last Christmas, enjoyed their presents and the day just as much when they understood who Santa Claus was. She
 was even careful to tell them that the old man in the Sunday school is "made up" to
 please little folks. And Dr. John Hall says:
 I do not think there is any neeo for long
 statement as to the wisdom of telling little
 children lies about Santa Claus or any other
 saint. Lies never do good. The danger is
 that when the little children find out the lies
 as of course they do in time-they will be
 tempted to class with them the religious
 truths which they taught. True, the lies
 about Santa Claus and the like may give
 them temporary pleasure; but enjoyment
 bought through lies is 'gold bought too dear" if indeed it can be called gold.
 But Santa Claus is not to go undefended. Dr. William NJ. Taylor Islands up' for him very effectively as follows: The purism which would rule that out of all Christmas celebra- tions would deprive the nursery of all such s'classics" as 'tJack and the Bean Stalk" s'Jack the Giant Killer" "Gulliyer's Travels D and the like; would overlay tirely the youthful imagination: would put an end to all childish playing at this or that; and would, in 8 word, take the poetry out of childhood, and make it all only very dull prose. I am not sure but that, fairly carried out, it would also taboo all the literature of imagination, and destroy everything in the shape of book that is not literal fact. Per haps your correspondent has not sufficiently pondered the distinction between truth and fact, and has failed to perceive that thing may be true without being fact The proper antithesis to fact is fiction, and fiction may teach deep truth. Santa Claus is iction but the truth beneath that fiction, which sooner or later comes to the surface, is love the love of parents for children, teachers for scholars and Christians for each other; and probably in the end that truth is more effectively taught because of the impression made by Santa Claus in the beginning.
 We do not believe that the attack upon Santa Claus will have much effect, at least not soon. He will certainly be around this year as usual, and by his presence and pres- ents make the little folks happy.

BARGAINS,

To day we offer another lot of 50 of those satin lined EIysIan OVercOats at the same price, $15 each, and would say to any one that wants the best Elysian Overcoat ever offered for $15 that this lot will more than please them.

 To-day we offer a large lot of Mems Black Chinchilla Overcoats. all sizes 34 to A, at the low price of $5 each. They are made with velvet collars, a strong, dura- ble lining, and cut double breasted. They would be cheap at $S50, but at our price, $5, they will last but few days.
 To-day we offer Mems and Young Mems fine Custom Made OvercOats at $2O, $2a, $2s and $50, that could not be made by any custom tailor in New England for less than $10or $15 more than our price, and then would not be as de- sirable garments as we offer.
 To-day we offer as speciality several neyy lines of ChiIdren's OVercOats, cut with full Coachmen Capes made from strictly all-wool Cassimere and Cheviots, at the popular price of $5 each.

Whoopeel Now is the time to


 It sometimes pays to write so that there need be no mistake made in reading what is written. A young Englishman living in South Africa recently visited England, and while there fell in love with one of two sis ters whose names were Salina and Salene. He did not declare his love, however, until he went back to South Africa, when he sent 8 declaration by mail. He received an af- frmative answer by return mail, and at once made arrangements to have his fancee come to South Africa. With a lovers impatience he awaited her arrival, but when at last she came he was mortified to discover that it was the wrong one. Either he had got the names mixed up or the address of his letter had been so obscurely written as to give rise to the mistake.
 The Washington Post doesn't consider it respectful for the Virginia legislature to make such an insulting reply to the Presi- dents free trade message. It says, both in sorrow and in anger: A Democratic President states the Democratic position on the whole question of federal taxation. A Democratic house of delegates in State which almost touches the Capital City rises up to repudiate that position and to defy the party which has assumed it. Without the slightest con- sideration for the President or the Democratic leaders in the senate or the house, without any thought of the five millions of Democrats l who live beyond the boundaries of Virginia, Virginia Democrats demand that the tariff ] taxes shall not be considered until the inter- nal revenue taxes have been entirely wiped out. It is time for some plain talk to our Virginia friends.

This made every wholesale store a drinking saloon. and the license fee was in creased in consequence.

A scheme for the erection Of a bridge over the English Channel is in active considera- tion among French capitalists and engineers The projected bridge would be twenty-two miles long, resting on piers of concrete and masonry 160 feet long by 100 broad, placed at intervals of $50 yards. The causeway of the bridge would be 160 feet above the sea level, to permit the passage of ships. and would be 100 feet wide. The estimated cost is s2O0, ,000,0 900. It appears that the chan nel is not so deep as is generally supposed. There are shadows out from Folkstone not over twenty feet from the surface, the depth from these shadows to the shore on either side varying from 100 to 160 feet.
 The Arizona How1er is bound to print the news.

Whisky Did 1t.

The Vernon horror, by which every
passenger and all but one of the crew
of lake steamer persisted, is proved
by testimony before the coroner's jury,
to be another whisky massacre. The
captain was a confirmed drunkard-
VIGOROUSLY so; had had delirium
tremens on former trips. What the
company were thinking about, entrust-
ing such q man with the control of d
vessel, we can not imagine. The lone
survivor testified: "The captain was
drunk most of the time, and he was
very drunk when we left Cheboygan
last week. Friday night, the night
the steamer was lost. he was as drunk
as ever saw him, and kept taking q
drink every little while from a bottle
that he carried in his coat pocket. If
the captain had been sober, don't be-
lieVe the vessel would have been lost,
for any sober man would have turned
back when he saw how badly she acted
in the big sea-"
The whole world is aroused, and
justly, by the Haymarket massacre.
yet here is massacre by which not
seven lives only, but seventy are sacri-
feed, and because whisky did it, " its
lesson makes no more lasting mark
than do the waves which closed over
the poor victims.-U9ion Signal.

The Slavery of Vice.

The American people believe that
Temperance is better than debauchery,
that sobriety is better than hilarity,
that Christian culture is better than a
life of sensuous indulgence, and that
Sunday afternoon without the saloon
gives better opportunity for the
healthful enjoyment by the people Of
their day of rest than Sunday after
noon with an open grog-shop. OF
course a law can not enforce virtue on
men who do not love virtue, but it can
do something in restraining vice and
in guarding from temptation those
whose habits are yet uniformed. Laws
which hold such an end in view do not
encroach on personal liberty; they are
rather the expression of the virtuous
purpose on the part of society to pro-
vide those conditions under which it
shall be easy for men to emancipate
themselves from the slavery of vice.
We may say now of those who ed
yocate the repeal of such laws, as
Milton said of a certain class Of men
in his day: License they mean when
they cry liberty. - hautauQua.
